charro
Ornate Mexican cowboy
A charro is a traditional Mexican horseman, the equivalent of a cowboy but with distinctive ornate dress—an embroidered suit, wide-brimmed sombrero, and silver-studded accessories.
Charros perform in charreadas (Mexican rodeos), demonstrating horsemanship and rope tricks.
The charro image is iconic in Mexican culture, associated with mariachi musicians and national identity: He wore a full charro outfit for the celebration.
